Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and
the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the head was 0.371 W/kg* with 0 mm
distance, when tested at the body was 1.778
W/kg*with 5 mm distance. As mobile devices
offer a range of functions, they can be used in
other positions, such as on the body as
described in this guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device 's
highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of
this device while operating is typically below
that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum power
